THE THREADLIFT: THE FIRST TRUE NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT
IS ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION
Canadian ThreadLift Pioneer Has Redeveloped Procedure
With Outstanding Results
Recently featured on NBC’s “Today Show”, in USA Today and People Magazine, the ThreadLift,
with the support of its pioneer, Toronto and Los Angeles cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. R.
Stephen Mulholland, is quickly attracting the kind of media attention and public interest that
was, until now, reserved for Botox.
The ThreadLift is an actual facelift, performed in under an hour with no cutting and minimal
discomfort. Patients resume their normal lives almost immediately. This minimally invasive
lifting technique which elevates and repositions lax skin of the brow, face and neck without
surgery, offers a significant result, up to 80% of an open facelift.
During the ThreadLift, tiny threads (contour sutures) are passed under the skin and into the
drooping facial elements to be lifted. Tiny barbs on the threads take hold of the drooping areas
and elevate them. The needle is then removed, leaving the newly lifted skin secure in its new
position.
The ThreadLift is performed without surgical incision, there is virtually no scarring and minimal
recovery time. Performed with a local anesthetic, there is little discomfort and minimal bruising
or swelling. Should it be necessary, the threads can be adjusted later on to loosen or tighten the
affected area.
Variations of the ThreadLift were introduced in Canada in 2003 to moderate results. Dr.
Mulholland, who began his medical career as an Oncological Head and Neck Surgeon, has
revised and refined the procedure to achieve results far beyond the earlier techniques. As
performed by Dr. Mulholland, the ThreadLift now connects the threads to the deep tissues of
the face resulting in a much more dramatic repositioning of facial elements.
Dr. Mulholland has now taught and certified over 300 U.S.-based physicians in the ThreadLift
procedure.
